Marshall Bruce Mathers III, known professionally as Eminem, is an American rapper, songwriter, and record producer.

His most successful songs on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 include "The Real Slim Shady", "Without Me", "Lose Yourself", "Not Afraid", "Love the Way You Lie", "The Monster", "Godzilla", and "Houdini".
